lucyjessica Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Disposable or washable? Which do you recommend?! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11355-breast-pads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
apenn Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Washable. The cotton or whatever filling in the disposables ones gets rucked up. Also cheaper in the long run. Might want to have a few around though as the washables are thicker and you can sometimes see the outline depending on your shirt material. Very flattering to walk around with two circles on your chest!-A Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11355-breast-pads/#findComment-324568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboarder Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Disposable. Lansinoh were the ONLY ones which worked and were comfortable. But full of those crystals you find in nappies so not very eco, don't think.

The Nappy Lady Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Washable - the ones with the lace backing stay in place really well and did the job for me.Mollyx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11355-breast-pads/#findComment-324592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystal7 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Disposable. Another vote for Lansinoh. Washable weren't absorbant enough and showed through tops IME. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11355-breast-pads/#findComment-324601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpsaucey Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Well -can I second both the Lansinoh disposable ones - really comfortable and never stuck to those sore nipples early on! and the washable ones Molly mentioned with the lace back (can't remember the make) as the only washable ones I tried that didn't go hard or get uncomfortable.

Pickle Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I used a mixture of washable and disposable - tended to use the washable ones when I was at home and disposables when out and about.I too was a fan of the Lansinoh brand, but towards the end of my breastfeeding "career" discovered that Boots own brand slim breast pads are exactly the same for a fraction of the cost.

amydown Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Another vote for disposables although I found the Lasinoh ones too stiff. Took me ages to find pads that were soft as I found many of them irritated my skin (don't think my skin's that sensitive....),Anyway, found Tommee Tippy Closer to Nature the best and bought in bulk on Amazon which worked out cheaper than Boots ones that way.

Lochie Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Another vote for Tommee Tippy disposables - I had so much milk leakage I was having to double up on breast pads and the TT ones were the only ones that eventually really worked. Bit pricier but comfy and they came in their own little plastic wrapper so easy to just grab them and take them with you when you are on the run...

sanity girl Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Disposable for night-times when the milk would build up and I leaked LOADS, but I preferred the Avent washable ones for daytime - more environmentally friendly and so much cheaper!
